Country Moon



COUNTRY MOON

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON
 2017

OLD DIRT ROADS LIKE RIBBONS OF GOLD
STRETCHED OUT BEFORE ME
LYING LAZY IN THE SUN
IT WAS HERE THAT IT ALL BEGAN
BEST TIMES I EVER HAD
BUT NOW THEY'RE ALL GONE
AND TIMES MOVED ON
THIS ISN'T THE PLACE IT WAS NOW THEN
EVERYTHING LOOKED DIFFERENT BETTER

YOU CAN'T GO HOME I TRIED
IT'S ALL GONE NOT THERE
JUST A FEW BRICKS THAT GOT MISSED IN THE WEEDS
WHO TOOK ALL THE TREES
WHERE I USED TO PLAY
WHO TOOK IT ALL AWAY
TIME DOESN'T ALWAYS PLAY FAIR

THERE WAS SO MUCH MACIC
SO MANY DREAMS
SUNSETS OF GOLD LIKE NONE I'VE EVER SEEN 
OH THOSE COUNTRY GIRLS
SURE KNEW HOW TO SMILE
FIND A WAY INTO YOUR HEART
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE
RIGHT FROM THE START
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST FELL OFF A STAR
YOU WONDER IF YOU'RE STILL
 WHO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE

SAME OLD PLACE
BUT NOT THE SAME OLD PLACE IT USED TO BE
NO RECOGNIZABLE FACES I SEE
EVERYONE IS GONE
THE SAME OLD ROADS
BUT EVERYBODY'S MOVED ON
TAKING MEMORIES AND LEAVING SOME BEHIND
JUST FOR ME TO FIND
 WILDFLOWERS AS FAR AS YOU COULD SEE
FIELDS OF GRAIN BOWING THEIR HEADS IN THE SUN
PROUD AS CAN BE
WE ONCE STOOD HERE AND DREAMED

BIG OLD COUNTRY MOON
LOOKING DOWN ON ME
COUNTRY NIGHT, CAST ANOTHER SPELL
KISS ME COUNTRY GIRL
 I PROMISE I WON'T TELL  
BUT I CAN'T PROMISE I WON'T TOUCH 
WHEN THE MOON FINDS YOU IN IT'S LIGHT
SHINING THROUGH YOUR HAIR
REFLECTING IN YOUR EYES
YOU ALWAYS SAID
DON'T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW
BUT WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
COUNTRY MOON SHINING DOWN
SURE FEELS ALRIGHT
COUNTRY MOON
MEMORIES JUST CAN'T DIE
